Chapter 844: Battling the Boss Again

Several days later.

All Baimu went to visit Alolan Meowth every day.

Perhaps worried that it would run away, but more actually concerned about whether it could adapt to the new environment.

Fortunately, Alolan Meowth adapted very well to group life and became as lazy as its other companions and Nanu in just two days.

Acting cute, acting spoiled, and playing.

In just a few days, the shadow of it playing with the Team Rocket trio was no longer visible on it, leaving only freedom and ease.

Occasionally it would use some little cleverness and fight wits with other Meowths who were also smart.

If it won, it would laugh loudly; if it lost, it would put on a stinky face.

What made him sad was that Alolan Meowth seemed to have some opinions about him, and never responded to his active greetings, treating him as a stranger.

Was it hated?

All Baimu didn't know, and while sad, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was worth being happy that a Pokémon couldn't forget him, but once he thought that he couldn't give it a response, it was hard to be happy with a clear conscience.

In the end, Alolan Meowth only stayed at his house for one night, knowing each other for only twenty-four hours.

He left silently.

'I'll come again.'

This sounded like visiting a prison, so he didn't say it.

——

Beach house.

A familiar guest came to visit.

"Alola~ Long time no see!"

The pink-haired, peach-eyed, tan-skinned young man smiled, with a cute Eevee squatting on his shoulder.

Ilima.

The opponent All Baimu encountered in the top eight of the Manalo Conference, and also the challenger when he served as the temporary Gym Leader of Sootopolis.

This Trainer who went abroad to study finally returned.

But he was very surprised, "Alola! Long time no see indeed, how did you know I was here? Did someone tell you?"

"No, I found it while searching for opponents."

Ilima smiled and shook his phone.

In addition to displaying the half-length portrait of the player, the Pokémon World Championships app would also display his current approximate location with a red dot.

Of course.

This function could be actively turned off, otherwise it would be easily exploited by criminals.

The two looked at each other.

Since they met because of a battle, then the only thing to do when they met again was one thing.

Start the battle!

Beach.

Ilima pulled a certain distance and said loudly: "I've dreamed of our battle every night for the past six months, and I remember every detail clearly, savoring it repeatedly."

"... Uh, sorry?"

All Baimu felt inexplicably chilled.

He didn't think appearing in a man's dream was a pleasant thing.

Ilima shook his head and smiled: "No need to apologize. I always feel it's a beautiful dream. After all, you are the goal I'm chasing."

A Rotom Drone flew in from the sky.

"Wele! The Pokémon World Championships certifies this battle! Battle contestants—Ilima of Melemele Island vs. All Baimu of Hau'oli City!"

Outdoor matches were always in one-on-one mode.

Both sides released their selected Pokémon.

Bang bang!

Light flashed.

Ilima's Mega Kangaskhan appeared, shouting with the baby Kangaskhan in its arms.

"Garu~"

"Garu-ee!"

And appearing opposite it was its former loser—

Shiny Gengar.

"Enemies" meeting were particularly jealous; Gengar had wanted to get this back for a long time, but suffered from the fact that its Trainer didn't have much contact with the Trainer of the Kangaskhan mother and child.

Didn't expect there would be another day to fight again!

Ilima's expression was serious; in the top eight, Gengar relied on endless variety moves and outstanding offensive ability to successfully take down two of his Pokémon, and only the Mega-evolved Kangaskhan could suppress it.

A few months passed.

To what level had this Gengar grown?

Many moves Gengar had used appeared in his mind, and he recalled the whole process of Kangaskhan taking down Gengar, thinking about tactical decisions.

The Rotom Drone looked at the Pokémon and Trainers on both sides and announced loudly:

"Battle start!"

Ilima: "Fake Out!"

All Baimu: "Will-O-Wisp."

As the words fell.

Kangaskhan rushed forward for the first time.

Its speed was faster than during the Manalo Conference, obviously having grown in the past six months.

It's just that the opponent it was facing now was not the one who had fought several matches, consuming a large amount of attribute energy and physical strength.

The current Gengar was in excellent condition!

"Mao Jie-hee-hee-hee!"

Strange laughter continued.

Gengar suddenly raised its floating height like a hydrogen balloon, its blood-red long tongue flicked, and clusters of ghostly purple Will-O-Wisps appeared slowly around it.

As a mid-air unit, it had no reason to play any melee combat with a Scrappy-ability opponent.

And what Ilima was worried about was this.

Seeing the speed at which Gengar rose, he realized the situation was bad, and found that compared to his own Kangaskhan, Gengar's growth was much greater!

"Distance is still enough! Do it quickly!"

"Garu!"

Kangaskhan looked up at Gengar, who was making Will-O-Wisps, and joined its paws together.

Clap!

A semi-transparent shockwave rippled out!

Fake Out, which was changed to a contact move in the fourth generation of the game, had the effect of long-range attack again after Ilima's research.

It's just that the attack distance still couldn't be called far.

Must reach it!

If it could seize the initiative like last time and grasp the rhythm of its own side, it would be easy to fight!

Ilima's expression was tense.

It's just that fate likes to play jokes so much.

When the shockwave of Fake Out finally spread to Gengar, the power that had been reduced again and again was no different from a breeze blowing on the face.

"Gen-gar!"

Gengar grinned, grabbed the softball-sized Will-O-Wisp, and smashed it down like a bomb!

Failed!

Ilima hurriedly ordered: "Dizzy Punch!"

"Garu!"

Kangaskhan's left claw gripped its fist and circled, and the semi-transparent energy formed a wonderful whirlwind, trying to pull the falling Will-O-Wisps and exclude them to other places.

Familiar offense as defense.

It had used this move to block Gengar's Sludge Bomb.

However, a qualified Saint Seiya wouldn't be defeated by the same move twice, and Gengar, whose combat consciousness was gradually improving, was the same.

The Will-O-Wisps like hand grenades didn't smash toward Kangaskhan, who was waving its fists and circling; the landing points of all nine Will-O-Wisps were nearby, and they exploded the moment they landed on the ground, connecting to each other to form a ring of fire that trapped it!

As long as it touched a trace of flame from the ring of fire while moving, there was a great probability of falling into a burn state!

"Garu!"

Kangaskhan and the baby Kangaskhan looked around, both terrified.

All Baimu: "Focus Blast!"

"Gen-gar!"

Gengar laughed wildly, raised its fat paws high, and the light blue energy gathered at high speed, outlining a high-energy light wave that kept buzzing and spinning!

Such a familiar scene!

Are All Baimu and Gengar trying to pay back everything they suffered last time?

Forcing it to Mega Evolve!

Ilima felt there was a trap inside, but it was already on the string and had to be fired, so he decisively showed his Key Stone bracelet.

Originally wanted to take advantage of the Scrappy ability.

But looking at the current situation, if it didn't Mega Evolve now, there would be no chance!

"Mega Punch!"

The light of evolution shone!

The baby Kangaskhan holding the Mega Stone jumped out of Kangaskhan's pouch, its small body grew instantly, full of spirit.

Boom!

The totem symbolizing Mega Evolution flashed.

Powerful strength and the Trainer's call made the Kangaskhan mother and child calm down quickly.

"Garu-ee!"

Only the baby Kangaskhan hissed and jumped onto its mother's broad shoulder, looking up at the giant light bomb thrown down by Gengar, and the air formed strands of chaotic currents lingering around.

Ghostly purple Will-O-Wisps fluttered on the sandy ground.

"Garu!"

"Garu-ee!"

Two voices, one thick and one tender, sounded, and the mother and child punched out fiercely!

Boom!

Deafening loud noise!

The incandescent light and the light blue light wave collided fiercely, exploding with incomparably dazzling and terrifying flashes!

Wild winds rolled and swept across the beach, the ring of fire surrounding the Mega Kangaskhan and baby Kangaskhan swayed, and dissipated in an instant.

There was no luck on Ilima's face, only solemnity.

Gengar's output was exponentially higher than a few months ago; Focus Blast, which could be blocked by Sucker Punch in the past, was now only barely blocked by Mega Punch of the same type.

Using Will-O-Wisp to seal the movement, forcing him to let Kangaskhan Mega Evolve to meet Focus Blast...

Trying to climb up from where you fell?

He looked up at Gengar, who was laughing strangely in the air, and knew very well that this was definitely Gengar's own idea.

Because unlike those micro-managing opponents who couldn't wait to manipulate how Pokémon walk and at what second they can release moves. All Baimu's command style is to formulate a series of tactics before the match, and give the Pokémon enough room to play freely during the battle, only controlling the general direction of the battle.

So All Baimu's Pokémon are often particularly outstanding in their ability to withstand damage, and their reaction to changes in the field is also unusually swift.

Ilima had studied this style and had the idea of learning it, but quickly denied it himself.

For no other reason.

The requirements for individual Pokémon quality are too high.

Don't look at every Pokémon having a chance to learn powerful moves; in terms of combat talent, there are also differences in high and low.

Many Pokémon receive relatively few instructions from the Trainer, and they just stand there foolishly, without any basic consciousness that "combat needs to run."

Just learning All Baimu's style without learning his training methods, how could it be successful.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

In a shallow pit on the beach, Mega Kangaskhan and baby Kangaskhan stood one after the other, the mother and child slowly shaking their right claws that were punching, looking a bit numb.

Two-versus-one is very advantageous.

Therefore, the superimposed Mega Punch successfully destroyed Focus Blast.

It was very lucky that the flying Will-O-Wisp flames didn't stain them; if they were burned, they would really have nowhere to cry.

Ilima saw that Gengar hadn't descended in height for a long time, wanting to know if the moves it would use next would follow the original ones, but was worried about being misled.

Perhaps wait a little...

"Curse."

"Gen!"

Gengar's blood-red eyes shone brightly, and the creepy black mist rose from its body, gradually brewing a strange ghost shadow.

Sure enough!

But this time the distance of Curse's release was relatively far, and Mega Kangaskhan and baby Kangaskhan had enough time to react!

He opened his mouth and said: "Throw the baby Kangaskhan up! Crunch!"

As soon as the words fell, the Curse ghost shadow hissed and swooped down.

"Ah—"

"Garu!"

Mega Kangaskhan grabbed the baby Kangaskhan and threw it up with all its might, letting it both avoid the Curse ghost shadow and attack Gengar with a parabolic fall.

"Garu-ee!"

The baby Kangaskhan, which flew above Gengar's head, was like an acrobat, rolling forward several times and suddenly opening its arms, looking down at Gengar with high fighting spirit, and the black light formed sharp teeth in front of it.

Until the other party looked up with a strange smile, and the Curse ghost shadow that was originally rushing toward Mega Kangaskhan made a huge turn!

"Ah!!"

The ghost shadow hissed and blocked in front of Gengar, causing the energy teeth in front of the baby Kangaskhan to tear it into pieces, and the failed Curse returned to the main body.

Gengar grabbed the baby Kangaskhan, which had no ability to dodge.

"Garu-ee!?"

The baby Kangaskhan struggled in shock, and Ilima and Mega Kangaskhan were also shocked.

The pink-haired young man's face changed drastically.

"Bad! Baby Kangaskhan, use Shock Wave quickly!"

"Garu!"

Mega Kangaskhan panicked and followed suit.

All Baimu: "Hypnosis."

Unfortunately, Gengar's movements were faster; the baby Kangaskhan it caught had almost no resistance, and it sank deeply into a dream.

Zzz!

Bright electricity burned the air and attacked from below, and Gengar didn't hesitate to use the baby Kangaskhan as a shield.

"Garu-ee!!"

The baby Kangaskhan in a coma let out a painful howl.

Mega Kangaskhan didn't dare to attack casually, looking at the Trainer helplessly.

Ilima had cold sweat on his forehead.

Careless!

Gengar let out an evil laugh like a villain, and having mastered the baby Kangaskhan, it was like mastering a peerless divine weapon, "Mao Jie-hee-hee-hee—"

"Dream Eater."

All Baimu's command didn't give Ilima any chance to breathe.

The baby Kangaskhan floated up in the shroud of pink-purple light, and strands of white smoke flew into Gengar's mouth continuously. After only a few breaths, it tilted its head and fainted on the spot.

But because its mother was the main body of Mega Evolution, it hadn't returned to its original form yet.

"Garu!!"

Mega Kangaskhan was about to explode with blood rage, but still didn't dare to attack casually, only watching Gengar throw the baby Kangaskhan down.

All Baimu raised his hand to catch it, making Ilima's heart jump.

The situation of the baby Kangaskhan being out of the battle alone hadn't happened before. According to League rules, if the baby Kangaskhan loses its ability to fight, it is not allowed to join the battle again, and the Kangaskhan main body continues the match.

Of course.

The other way around would be a direct loss.

The 【Parental Bond】 ability was ruined by Gengar's operation, which was equivalent to breaking one arm of Mega Kangaskhan.

More importantly, Mega Kangaskhan's anger dissipated as All Baimu held it in his arms, and Ilima couldn't use its emotions to do anything in time.

"Sludge Wave."

"Gen-gar!"

Gengar rubbed its fat paws, and large groups of fishy sludge like a waterfall from the sky smashed down toward where Mega Kangaskhan was!

Boom!

The falling poison tide rolled up to a height comparable to a giant wave, covering the sky and the sun!

"Protect!"

Ilima tried hard to maintain composure.

Regardless of how good it sounded before, the psychological shadow All Baimu left him finally broke out at his big disadvantage.

"Garu!"

Mega Kangaskhan propped up a fluorescent blue spherical light shield, blocking the surging poison tide outside.

However, affected by the shallow pit under its feet, all the deep purple poison that should have been dispersed and absorbed by the earth was accumulated, causing its feet to be soaked in the poison.

"Jump out!"

Ilima was worried that Mega Kangaskhan would be poisoned because of this, but soon he found that he had more need to pay attention to.

There was an extra Gengar in the sky at some point.

"Mao Jie-hee-hee-hee~"

"Gen-gar~"

The two laughed and hugged each other to spin, then flew toward Mega Kangaskhan one after another.

Ilima shouted: "Hit both together! Fire Punch!"

"Garu!"

Mega Kangaskhan, who jumped out of the shallow pit, waved two fists burning with flames, but how could Gengar let it hit two with one move?

Directly used Substitute as a meat shield to withstand Mega Kangaskhan's attack.

Bang!

Substitute exploded.

All Baimu: "Hypnosis."

"Gen-gen!"

Gengar's eyes shone brightly, and the pink-purple light wave released spread to Mega Kangaskhan, easily hypnotizing it.

Followed by Dream Eater infusion.

Mega Kangaskhan, who lost its child, had a greatly reduced desire to fight, and didn't struggle much before rolling its eyes and falling to the ground with a bang.

Bang!

Smoke drifted.

"Kangaskhan loses the ability to fight! Gengar wins!"

The Rotom Drone announced loudly.

"Gen——"

Gengar clenched its fat paws, suddenly turned around and gave a "V" sign to the Trainer, "Ga!!"

Snow has been washed away!

Mega Evolution is not my opponent either! ===== CHAPTER 845 =====

Even Mega Evolution is no match for me!
